NIIT MTS EU/US PRIVACY SHIELD PRIVACY POLICY Version 1.2 - Aug 11, 2023


INTRODUCTION

NIIT MTS (“NIIT MTS”, “we”, “us” and “our”) respects individual privacy, and values the confidence of its customers, their stakeholders, employees, business partners and others who may use our services. Not only do we strive to collect, use, and dispose personal information in a manner consistent with the laws of the countries in which we do business, but we also aim to uphold the highest ethical standards in our business practices. This Policy (the "Policy") sets forth the privacy principles that NIIT MTS follows with respect to transfers of personal information between the member states of the European Union, including participating countries in the European Economic Area (collectively, "the EU") and United States.

PRIVACY SHIELD PRINCIPLES

The United States uses a sectoral approach that relies on a mix of legislation, regulation, and self-regulation. Given those differences and to provide organizations in the United States with a reliable mechanism for personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union while ensuring that EU data subjects continue to benefit from effective safeguards and protection as required by European legislation with respect to the processing of their personal data when they have been transferred to non-EU countries, the Department of Commerce has issued the Privacy Shield Principles, including the Supplemental Principles (collectively "the Principles") under its statutory authority to foster, promote, and develop international commerce (15 U.S.C. § 1512).

NIIT MTS complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information from European Union member countries. NIIT MTS has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement and Liability. If there is any conflict between the policies in this privacy policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.
